Sarah Snook, who plays Shiv Roy on the hit HBO series Succession, explained that her character voted against her brother Kendall in the series finale because she was triggered by seeing him put his feet up on their late father's desk. Snook believes Shiv's decision was a pure instinct and a response to the ongoing sibling rivalry.

Snook revealed that she only learned about the show's ending when she read the script for the finale on her way to the table read.
Succession creator Jesse Armstrong explains the endings for Kendall, Shiv, and Roman in a new interview with NPR's Terry Gross. Armstrong says that Kendall was not contemplating death in the final scene, and that such a death wouldn't be possible for him given the type of protection he has around him. Shiv and Tom's ending is one of "terrifying equality," while Roman ends up most particularly exactly where he started. Armstrong also reveals that he "wrestled" with leaving the fate of the presidential election open and explains the "raw" and "coherence in its incoherence" feeling he was striving for in the "Connor's Wedding" episode.
In the finale of the TV series Succession, Roman's comment about Shiv being the "bloodline" hits hard as it is revealed that Kendall's children are not biologically his. Sophie was adopted by Kendall and Rava, while Iverson was conceived with sperm from a donor. This adds to Kendall's desperation to prove himself worthy in the eyes of his abusive father, Logan Roy. The future of Kendall's children inheriting the Roy legacy of trauma is uncertain, but Kendall could potentially repair his relationship with his co-parent and show more tenderness towards his kids.
Jesse Armstrong, the creator of the TV series 'Succession', has revealed what happens to the characters post-finale. Roman ends up where he started, Shiv is in a frozen emotionally barren place, and Kendall's life will always be marked by the central event of the show. Armstrong said that the Roys' stories will carry on, but the show loses interest in them because they've lost what they wanted, which was to succeed.
Sophie Roy, one of Kendall's children in the TV show Succession, posted a tweet about not being able to attend her grandfather's funeral due to the riots in the city. Her tweet was met with amusement from fans of the show. It is unclear if Kendall's children will feature in the finale, which airs on May 28.
In this week's episode of Succession, power players made strategic errors as the war between the Roy boys and Matsson heated up. Shiv's chance to cozy up to Matsson and stick it to her brothers for squeezing her out worked out well for a while, but Matsson's facade came tumbling down, and her prospects with it. Kendall and Roman got lucky in uncovering Matsson's malfeasance through Ebba, yet Kendall sees it as his own personal triumph.
In episode 6 of "Succession," Kendall and Roman scramble to undermine the GoJo deal in the lead-up to investor day at Waystar Studios in Los Angeles. Kendall looks into Living+, a new Waystar initiative to be unveiled at investor day. The service is essentially branded retirement communities with promotional tie-ins to other pieces of Waystar IP. Meanwhile, Roman meets with the head of Waystar Studios, Joy Palmer, with the intention of funneling more money into its theatrical and streaming projects. The episode highlights the callous displays of wealth and unrealistic demands made by the wealthy elite.
In the latest episode of "Succession," Kendall impresses investors with fraudulent projections of massive growth, while Roman impulsively fires two powerful women and Shiv backchannels with Matsson to keep the deal on track. Kendall's plan is to drive up the stock price so the deal can't happen, and he throws around a ton of jargon to convince his numbers guy to create wild projections with no basis in reality.

Roman struggles with the interpersonal part of being in charge, while Shiv is on a mission to impress Lukas Matsson. The episode ends with Kendall's triumph, but there is no reason to believe it will be long-lived.
In the second episode of "Succession" season 4, Logan is ready to complete the sale of Waystar to Lukas Matsson, but his children might get in the way of that.

Meanwhile, Kendall and Roman take pity on Connor, who is dealing with doubts about his upcoming wedding, but the siblings are also focused on the upcoming board meeting and the decision about whether or not to throw a wrench in the GoJo deal.
